A volunteer effort is hoping to save California's Joshua trees [View all]
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna121891In a year when historic wildfires raged in the rainforests of Hawaii and subarctic Canada, the gnarled Joshua trees are a stark reminder that wildfires are now scrambling ecosystems in places where fire was once rare or could not burn as intensely.
In the Mojave preserve, the park service is now working on ways to restore these plants. The goal is to plant 4,000 trees over four years.

Sadly, their efforts will fail. IMO, they should use their resources to plant seedlings further north, above the tree's native range, where the heat isn't as bad yet.
